Is would be a 150% increase. Since your going from 18 to 45, your increase of percentage would be 150%, and the difference is 27. Hope his helps you out!

we know that

$[tex] 18 [/tex] represent the [tex] 100 [/tex]%

so

by proportion

[tex] \frac{18}{45} =\frac{100}{x} \\ \\ 18*x=45*100\\ \\ x=\frac{45*100}{18} [/tex]

[tex] x=250 [/tex]%

so

$[tex] 45 [/tex] represent the [tex] 250 [/tex]%

Find the percent increase

[tex] Percent\ increase =250-100=150 [/tex]%

therefore

the answer is

The percent increase is equal to [tex] 150 [/tex]%
